******************
Orochimaru exhaled heavily and discreetly spat out a few mouthfuls of chewed food, skillfully concealed from the two ANBU ninjas guarding Tsunade. He didn't want to draw attention to his little indulgence.
He engaged in fierce battles not only to refine his combat skills and augment his strength, but also to catch the attention of the Senju clan, specifically the second-generation Hokage, Tobirama.
The second generation was the pioneer of forbidden jutsu in Naruto world. The Fourth Hokage's signature techniques, like the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Reanimation Jutsu used by Orochimaru in the future Great Ninja War, were all first developed by the second generation. Even Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique and Orochimaru's strategic-level Fuinjutsu, the Dark Sealing Method, all originated from this exceptionally talented individual, whose abilities were nothing short of monstrous.
As Orochimaru's successor, Orochimaru had his own mission to master powerful ninjutsu and unravel the mysteries of jutsu. But fundamentally, it was his desire and ambition to wield formidable power!
As a prodigious character, the second generation had to meet the same fate as Hashirama Senju, passing away within three years. At present, Orochimaru was still relatively weak, unable to alter major events for the time being, and he didn't want to do so either.
If the second generation didn't die, how could his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen ascend to the Hokage position so swiftly? As a disciple and member of the Sannin, even with his formidable strength, how could he have earned the title of "Sannin" and the authority to command the war and lead the ninja forces in the Second and Third Great Ninja Wars?!
The second generation had to die! Orochimaru merely aimed to extract as many benefits as he could before that happened, garnering support for himself from the Senju clan.
"Come on, boy! Still have some fight left in you?" The Kaguya ninja across from Orochimaru had activated the Dance of Camellia Dance, his body covered in bones. In this state, he possessed virtually no weak points, even the wounds on his waist and abdomen were concealed beneath a layer of pale bone that temporarily halted the bleeding.
However, the Kaguya ninja couldn't continue much longer. This state consumed a significant amount of his chakra, and the poisoning and blood loss were taking a toll on his condition. Moreover, there were a few smaller fry eyeing him.
"Suffer to death! Dance of the Wisteria Camellia!" The Kaguya ninja roared, displaying his incredible physical prowess as he spun toward Orochimaru in a mesmerizing posture. The bone knives on his body and the spine in his hand intertwined, creating a dense web of attacks resembling a deadly whirlwind that effortlessly tore through anything in its path.
"Summonging Technique!" Orochimaru gritted his teeth, summoning a significant amount of chakra to form the necessary hand seals. His chakra reserves were now less than a third, but facing such a monstrous opponent directly, he had no choice but to take the risk.
Although Orochimaru had undergone body modifications for some time, it was impossible for him to emerge unscathed from a heap of minced flesh at this moment.
"Bang!" As the smoke cleared, Orochimaru's largest summon, a formidable ninja beast, appeared alongside a towering twenty-meter snake!
The scales on this snake's body were as large and thick as a child's palm. Its mighty form traced an elegant S-shaped path on the ground. Its fierce snake eyes fixed upon the minuscule "hedgehog" before it, its foul mouth gaping wide to deliver a crushing bite!
"Orochimaru can summon such a colossal snake. It's truly terrifying. I wonder if my family's slug or toad summoning can conjure such a gargantuan creature!" Tsunade and Jiraiya simultaneously pondered this thought. The presence of such a massive ninja beast always delivered a visual and psychological shock to even the weakest of ninjas.
"It's futile. It's just depleting your physical stamina," Orochimaru coolly observed the Kaguya ninja, who roared and charged into the gaping maw of the enormous snake. This snake wasn't as powerful as the one he had transformed into, but it would suffice for handling Kaguya ninja!
Indeed, a sound resembling a stab resonated, as the Kaguya ninja pierced the snake's body like a cutting machine, eventually erupting forth like a burst of blood in the sky!
The pockmarked wounds on his body were corroded by the snake's stomach acid, but the berserk Kaguya ninja paid no heed. His bone whip lashed out at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru swiftly evaded, and the resulting sawdust bombarded him like bullets, leaving his white robe riddled with holes.
"Don't run, kid!" the Kaguya ninja lashed out once again.
"Hmph!" Orochimaru had no intention of fleeing. What he sought was to eliminate this jōnin in front of the two ANBU ninjas.
The previous colossal snake was still alive, so Orochimaru channeled his chakra to fully control it. The snake turned around and fiercely bit down on the Kaguya ninja.
The massive snake whimpered as blood and internal organs spilled out like a ruptured blood vessel. Its snake eyes lost their luster. It turned and sank its fangs into the Kaguya ninja, resulting in the snake's head being impaled by a bone spur. In a wretched state, it died on the spot.
Mucheng's scalp prickled with unease as he witnessed the gruesome scene. As a Taijutsu ninja, he couldn't hold his composure for even a minute!
"Hahaha! What else can you do?" the Kaguya ninja growled, his breath heavily disordered. Orochimaru's agility was proving to be a real nuisance.
Kaguya Ninja's heart was clouded with frustration. How could his elite jōnin prowess fail against a mere child?
He ripped off the tattered snake head, his body resembling a blood-drenched Demon, but at that moment, Orochimaru shouted, "Foolish Kaguya ninja, let's settle this once and for all!"
Orochimaru charged directly at the Kaguya ninja, his pupils glowing crimson, akin to a venomous snake hunting its prey with unwavering determination!
"Is this guy insane?!" one of the perceptive ANBU ninjas almost exclaimed.
"You're courting death, kid!" the Kaguya ninja grinned. "But that's precisely what I want!"
He discarded the spine and swiftly encased his arm in a dense layer of bone. These bones continued to converge, wrapping around his arm until they formed a massive bone drill bit! He lunged at Orochimaru, the enormous drill tearing through the air, leaving everyone present awestruck!
"Witness my ultimate attack! Dance of the Whirling Blossoms, 2nd Movement!"
"No!" Tsunade and Jiraiya cried out in unison. Tsunade couldn't bear to witness her best friend being torn to shreds.
Orochimaru clenched his right hand into a biting gesture.
"It's futile, kid. You can't breach Kaguya clan's defenses," another astute ANBU ninja sighed inwardly.
The second generation had cautioned him to pay attention to this boy named Orochimaru. He was indeed a genius, but far too reckless. If he chose to retreat, he could immediately take control of the situation. However, if he courted death, a dead genius would remain just that—dead.
Orochimaru couldn't evade at this moment, unable to hide anymore. He could already smell the strong stench emanating from Kaguya ninja's body!
It seemed that he had exhausted all his cards, and now only possessed the strength of a jōnin?
Orochimaru let out a soft sigh, and then his snake-like pupils dilated. Majestic spiritual power surged from his body and crashed into Kaguya ninja's mind!
"Ah!" Kaguya ninja let out a miserable scream, his body freezing while maintaining a forward posture. At such close range, there was no way to completely avoid the attack!
"It's a strike!" As if encountering no resistance, Orochimaru's shoulder and entire left arm, which had been enhanced, were ripped into shreds by the drill bit. Without uttering a word, he thrust his right hand toward the still stupefied Kaguya ninja!
"Did you miss the vital point? This kid's inhuman spiritual power! If we act now, there's still a chance!" Although the perceptive ninja was astonished, he quickly responded.
However, at that moment, from the angle obstructed by the Kaguya ninja, a sword suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's hand—a lethal sword adorned with brown snake-scale patterns, radiating a chilling light!
It was Orochimaru's divine weapon—the Kusanagi Sword!
"Pfft!" With Orochimaru's surging chakra, the Kusanagi Sword directly penetrated Kaguya's formidable defense, sinking deep into his chest!
A cold aura of impending death coursed through Kaguya ninja's body along the blade of the Kusanagi Sword. In his final moments of consciousness, all he saw was the wound and a smile devoid of warmth from Orochimaru, the smile of utter coldness!
"Cough, cough!" Blood spewed from his mouth as Kaguya ninja's face turned ashen. In the end, without uttering a single word, he fell lifelessly to the ground.
Exhausted, Orochimaru groaned, his broken body collapsing beside Kaguya ninja's corpse.
The Kusanagi Sword embedded in Kaguya ninja's chest transformed into a streak of light and vanished into Orochimaru's forehead, unseen by anyone. A shimmering blood-red brilliance merged into Orochimaru's body, while the hand he pressed against Kaguya ninja entered his body, wildly spreading within his bloodstream!
Orochimaru felt a warm sensation coursing through his body as chakra surged exuberantly. Itchy sensations permeated his muscles and bones!
"So, this is the white-scaled snake's bloodline talent? It's truly formidable!" Orochimaru couldn't contain his excitement, but his vision dimmed due to the severe wound.
Before succumbing to unconsciousness, Orochimaru used the tools he had prepared to extract a small piece of Kaguya's flesh, concealing it. Gradually, his consciousness grew hazy.
In his final moments, it seemed as though he heard Tsunade's anguished cries and Jiraiya's mournful lament.
